Board seeks volunteers and staff as lifeguard shortages complicate planned free swims
Summary
With only three lifeguards available, the board discussed recruiting volunteers, paying temporary help, and scheduling three days of free swims around the festival (including an August 1 night swim) while ensuring lifeguard coverage.
Board members raised staffing concerns for summer programming, noting there are only three lifeguards on the roster. The pool manager suggested volunteers and temporary paid help to finish cleaning and to staff special events. "We don't have the lifeguards around to do it, so we'll pay," one participant said, summarizing the trade-off between volunteer labor and paid help.
The board proposed free swims around the festival weekend with a night swim on the first of August and discussed shift coverage to avoid overworking the small lifeguard pool. Members agreed to finalize scheduling after confirming staff availability and said they would post for volunteers if access to social channels could be arranged.
